Common functions

Both input and output tables have these common functions:

• Filtering the contents

  You can filter the contents of the tables based on any heading (column name) in the tables. The drop-down box (indicated by the right-hand side arrow in the figure) contains the filter criteria. Choose the filter criterion from the drop-down list and specify a value. For example, if you want to display only those fields that contain the letter ‘W’, then select the criterion Filter Field on, remove ‘*’, and type ‘W’ in the text box.

• Sorting the values

  You can sort the values in the ascending or descending order by clicking on the heading (column name). For example, if you want to sort the values in the column Type, click the column heading Type.

• Editing alias column

  You can edit the Alias column of both tables. This provides you with the flexibility of changing the default name to something that is suitable to the customer’s requirements or to even translate to other languages. For example, the alias for ITNO could be changed to ‘ProductNumber’ from ‘ItemNumber’.

  Note: Ensure that there are no spaces in the Alias name.

• Opening multiple methods

  You can open multiple methods for editing in the editor. Each method is represented as a tab at the bottom of the editor. However, only one tab is active at any given time.
